Listening to audio at excessive volumes can cause permanent hearing damage. Use as low a volume as possible.
Over exposure to excessive sound levels can damage your ears resulting in permanent noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). Please use the following guidelines established by the Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) on maximum time exposure to sound pressure levels before hearing damage occurs.
90 dB SPL 95 dB SPL 100 dB SPL 105 dB SPL
at 8 hours at 4 hours at 2 hours at 1 hour
110 dB SPL 115 dB SPL 120 dB SPL
at 1/2 hour at 15 minutes Avoid or damage may occur
SAFE USE
- Do not use when a failure to hear your surroundings could be dangerous, such as while driving, or when biking, walking, or jogging where traffic is present.
- Warning: If a sleeve becomes lodged in your ear, seek skilled medical assistance to remove the sleeve. Damage to the ear may be caused by non-professionals attempting to remove the sleeve.
- Use a slow twisting motion to remove the earphones. Never pull on the earphone cord.
- Prior to inserting the earphone, always recheck the sleeve to make sure it is firmly attached to the nozzle.
- Turn up the volume control only far enough to hear properly.
- Ringing in the ears may indicate that the volume level is too high. Try lowering the volume.
- If you connect these earphones to an airplane’s sound system, listen at low levels so that loud messages from the pilot do not cause discomfort.
- Have your hearing checked by an audiologist on a regular basis. If you experience wax buildup, discontinue use until a medical professional has examined your ears.
- Stop using the earphones if they are causing great discomfort or irritation.
